Episode description

On this episode of Random Encounter, we’re diving into a magical alpine journey and revisiting a classic RPG.


First up, Abe joins us to discuss Dungeons of Hinterberg. This action RPG with Zelda and Persona-like elements is set in a beautiful Austrian resort town, combining combat, puzzles, and social interactions. How do these elements come together to create a memorable adventure (and vacation)?


Then, Neal is here to chat about the modern remaster of Vay, a classic RPG from the Sega CD era. This re-release aims to bring the nostalgic experience to modern platforms, maintaining the original charm while enhancing the graphics and gameplay with quality-of-life features. Does this remaster capture the magic of the original, or does it fall short of today's RPG expectations?

Featuring: Jono Logan, Neal Chandran, and Abraham Kobylanski; Edited by Jono Logan
